Ready to get crazy in January!! Who's with me!

Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

In case this is in any well helpful @Geauxtigers I am having some cramping in my lower back right now. In fact it's really like my pre period cramps. I was so convinced over the weekend the AF was getting ready to come, I had cramps on and off from Friday. Sucks so much that the symptoms are the same! Keep your chin up as I was in your place just a few days ago and now I'm in shock! X

@newmum2020 I'm holding on to a tiny bit of hope that it might be implantation bleeding but I've been having lower back pain which is usual for a day or so before my AF and I haven't had any other symptoms at all other than the usual ones. At least one positive is that I know I'm tracking my cycles right as AF is bang on time.

I think I might do CB OT next month just to check if I'm ovulating. An aunt of mine has thyroid problems and although I don't think I do I've never been checked and want to make sure I'm actually ovulating each month, don't want to be trying for 6 months only to find out nothing could ever have happened!

It's all such a minefield. And even though I feel like I'm quite chilled about it all, I never expected it to be so emotionally draining.

@newmum2020 I totally understand that. We aren't breathing a word to anyone until we have an early scan. I won't tell my work until after my 12 week, though my boss does know, as I had to tell someone and I know she won't say anything to the partners yet anyway!
I've read so many things where you get pregnancy for the very first time ever and your body just rejects it, as it's a foreign body and it just goes away!
I really hope that doesn't happen but it scares me to think about it.
As I don't feel pregnant yet, I'm not really overthinking anything.
I think once I start to get a bump and have our scan I think that's when reality will hit in!

@Ginge35 I'm feeling totally fine, no sore boobs or tiredness like last time.....yet! It's not sunk in yet and I can't talk to anyone about it as hubby away with work tonight. We want to wait to tell people when we've had scan after last time.

@Geauxtigers you'll know your own body but is there any chance it could be implantation bleeding as this is right about time AF due? Maybe don't give up hope yet

Geauxtigers · 23/01/2020 14:56

So thrilled to hear all the BFPs. My pregnancy tests arrived today along with blood tinged CM which I always get the day before AF is due, which is tomorrow. I'm so gutted, even though I knew chances of conceiving first try were slim I still had a ray of hope. I'm 12 DPO so I guess I'll buy a CB ovulation predictor kit and get ready to get crazy again next month!

Also don't tell him you're going to do a clear blue because they're not as sensitive and may come up as negative if you're only a couple of days late. Do it then present him with the results if positive. If negative, wait three days and repeat.

newmum2020 · 23/01/2020 07:42

Thanks @Bethwox 😁😁

Bethwox · 23/01/2020 07:38

Get a clear blue and do it tomorrow morning!! He obviously wants to see those words but that is deffo positive xx

newmum2020 · 23/01/2020 07:23

@BecauseReasons 🤣I don't know why he can't just shut his mouth and let me have my moment. I'm only two days late and I was further when I tested last time so I think he's comparing it to that. Also, first time he looked at test first and told me no second line 😂😂so really I should ignore him lol

BecauseReasons · 23/01/2020 07:21

Oh FFS. The rule is that if there's a line, there's a line. If it helps, my DH couldn't even see the second line on my first test. Men. 🙄

newmum2020 · 23/01/2020 07:18

Just showed hubby and he said no it's hardly worth calling a line and now I'm crying because I'm so mad at him. He said because it's a 'cheapie' we shouldn't trust it.....😭

newmum2020 · 23/01/2020 07:10

@BecauseReasons omg I still don't believe it, I haven't even woken hubby up to show him I was waiting on one of you lovely ladies replying first! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞I'll get some more tests later 😆

BecauseReasons · 23/01/2020 07:08

Positive, fairly unequivocally. Congratulations! 🎉

newmum2020 · 23/01/2020 06:22

Did any of you ladies with BFPs have any implantation bleeding?

newmum2020 · 22/01/2020 22:29

Thanks girls I will buy some decent tests tomorrow as these are just cheapos. Poor hubby I jumped down his throat when he said he can't see it!!! Then he said yes it's there but it's too faint to mean you're pregnant.......I wanted to punch him! 😂time will tell 😬

@newmum2020 I can see a super super faint line! There is hope! I'd give it 24 hours and test again Friday. That way it's give your body more time produce HCG so you'll get a better line if you leave it a couple of days! It's looking positive for you though!
@FarmerWantsABaby if you have 9 flashing smiley faces then you won't ovulate this month. This month I had 4 in a row before I got my static smiley. Just keep DTD every other day just cover yourself! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@newmum2020 as someone who always looks out for a line that is 1000% a line! Do one in the morning xx
